Bodily Communication Dimensions of Expression and Content

  • Chapter
Multimodality in Language and Speech Systems

Part of the book series: Text, Speech and Language Technology ((TLTB,volume 19))

Abstract

Bodily communication perceived visually or through the tactile senses has a central place in human communication. It is probably basic both from an ontogenetic and a phylogenetic perspective, being connected with archaic levels in our brains such as the limbic system and the autonomous neural system. It is interesting from a biological, psychological and social point of view and given recent developments in ICT (Information and Communication Technology). It is also becoming more and more interesting from a technological point of view.
